Period Cannons

Inspection of period cannons prior to historical re-enactment allows individuals to obtain permits to use cannons in July 4th town celebrations. Collectors also request inspections to determine the condition of cannons for insurance and resale purposes. Inspection can identify surface cracks and the alloys / elements that make up the metal in them. Testing methods include Positive Materials Identification, Magnetic Particle, Liquid Penetrant, and Visual Testing.
